WASHINGTON - Fifty-eight former U.S. national security officials told the Trump administration in a letter on Monday that they are aware of "no emergency that remotely justifies" diverting funds to build a border wall.
The officials, who served in both Democratic and Republican administrations, include former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, who served in the Clinton administration, and former Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel, a Republican who served in the Senate and the Obama administration.
Others include Leon Panetta, former secretary of defense and director of the CIA; Gil Kerlikowske, former head of Customs and Border Protection; John Kerry, former secretary of state; and Nick Rasmussen, former director of the National Counterterrorism Center.
The letter, according to its authors, is a declaration intended to be used in lawsuits challenging President Donald Trump's Feb. 15 decision to redirect $8 billion in federal funds in order to begin construction of a barrier along the southern border. Trump's announcement fulfilled a campaign promise to build a wall to block illegal immigrants after Congress offered less than $2 billion in federal funds after months of negotiations.
The officials fact check Trump's basis for declaring a national emergency, pointing out that illegal border crossings are near 40-year lows, there is no documented terror threat, human and drug trafficking will not be affected by a border wall, and there is no violent crime threat posed by immigrants.

I suppose W and Laura are in that bunch.
Nonsense. I am no supremacist of any type.
I am however aware of the culture change caused by immigration legal and otherwise.
Like all good leftists you engage in name calling and character assiNATION WHEN you don’t like someone else’s opinions.
Trump knows to do the exact opposite of these politicized clowns. When an American city to be lost due to a dirty bomb, they will still blame Conservatives for instigating violence
They could drum up only 58 asshats to sign this?
A virtual who’s-who list of Deep Staters, Demonrats, and Globohomo scum.
Hear anything from any name on this Amicus list beside silence about the Obama regime As Obama engaged in stimulating racial division using the Bully Pulpit defending those engaged in criminal activity. Encouraging resistance to arrest which resulted into attempts to take a LEO’s gun. Wound up in a series of Law Enforcement Officers murders assaults and revenge killings of any non black innocent persons wandering in or near “hoods” by black gangs after the Zimmerman and riots after the Ferguson Missouri trials?.

It really isn’t the number of illegals
apprehended at the border. Those caught
who are Mexicans, can be quickly processed
and deported. Those from other countries,
not just south Americans, according to
our asylum laws, are detained until
their cases can be heard. The backlog
is overloading the system, which is where
the crisis lay. The border has never seen
the numbers of illegals crossing that are
from countries other than Mexico. On these
grounds, the “security experts’” arguments
are weak.
Your words speak for themselves. You want all non whites deported. You’re a white supremacist.
Derp Staters gonna Derp.
Learn what sarcasm is.
Learn what sarcasm is.
US citizens regardless of race cannot be deported.
Not too bright are you.
All of this is sarcasm? Haha haha. You’ve got a wicked sense of humor. Na. You’re just a dirty, miserable, white supremacist.
“My solution is deport all non whites”

“The country is almost lost demographically now. The 50% left wing division in the country is driven numbers wise almost all by non white voters. A few more years at the current rate and the days of the USA as we have known them are over. Lower birth rates of whites, high minority birth rates, high immigration by non whites and anchor baby citizens all will be death knell. It’s happening in every state and many communities.”

You need to take your anti white bigotry and racism elsewhere.
And you claim my logic is flawed? Is this also sarcasm? Hahahahaha!
I call you out for wanting to deport non whites and you claim I’m anti white. You’re proving my point. Only a white supremacist dirtbag would make that leap in logic you’re making, “people who object to non whites being deported must be anti white.”
My person of color spouse would disagree with your slander.
I feel sorry for her. It must be a living hell. I hope she’s not Vietnamese.
One thing folks like you don’t learn easily is that the internet is all fake fantasy world nonsense and anyone who takes it seriously is a fool. Just like acting in Hollywood is make believe, so is anonymous commenting on niche websites. Bottom line is don’t believe everything you read. The internet is entertainment. Enjoy it for what it’s worth, but don’t go off the deep end . There is no job in life called Keyboard Warrior.
“Don’t believe everything you read.”
Absolutely. That’s why I don’t believe your married to a non white woman. But you’ve made it clear you’re a white supremacist.
“Don’t go off the deep end.”
Given your troll history, I’m surprised to hear you say that.
27 years married.
Don’t really care what you believe. That’s the point.
